Overview: The classic night-and-day social deduction game, with roles you define yourself. The phone privately runs every night action, so there's never a human "narrator" who knows everyone's secrets.
- Objective
- Town: eliminate every Mafia member. Mafia: equal or outnumber the Town.
- Players
- 5–12 recommended, minimum 3.
- Setup
- Add players, then define roles: a name, a team (Town or Mafia), an optional night action (Kill, Save, or Inspect), and how many of that role to include. Unassigned players become plain Villagers.
How Mafia Works
- Everyone privately learns their role during the reveal phase.
- At night, everyone closes their eyes. By default, the phone privately visits every player in turn — even ones with nothing to do — so no one can tell who has powers just by who gets called up.
- Mafia members privately agree on a shared kill target. Doctor-type roles privately choose someone to protect. Detective-type roles privately investigate someone's team.
- At dawn, the app reveals who (if anyone) died. Discuss out loud, then vote publicly to eliminate a suspect — their role is revealed.
- Winning
- Town wins when every Mafia member is eliminated. Mafia wins the moment they equal or outnumber the surviving Town.
Tips
- For a first game, keep it simple: one Mafia, one Doctor, one Detective, rest Villagers.
- The "everyone gets a turn" night setting is slower but keeps the game fair for longer — worth it for sharper groups.
